Chapter 386
The wine cellar was locked from the inside and could not be opened from the outside…
Maia instructed for the door to be axed open!
The wine cellar was maintained at a cool temperature all year long and was very dimly lit.
On the bar sat a tall man leaning against the counter. He was gulping on the wine, one glass after another.
He looked extra sober and not at all drunk.
His stomach was hurting excruciatingly.
Maia secretly cussed that he was not drunk.
However, she put on her worried face and strode across.
Her eyes were watery, and she said with concern, “Cedrick, why are you drinking this much? Catelyn does not appreciate you. You still have me, and I will stay by your side forever…”
“F*ck off…”
Cedrick was still saying the same two words. He rose and wanted to leave the cellar.
Perhaps he was drunk, and perhaps it was his stomach, he stumbled as soon as he stood up. “Watch out.” Maia tried to hold him.
Cedrick’s long arms flung and pushed her away. His motion was so swift that there was not a split second of hesitation.
“Leave me alone.”
Maja almost fell. She stood straight and saw Cedrick leaving
She would not let her opportunity slip away just like that, and she then chased him.
Was it Mummy?
He lifted his duvet and hopped off the bed, put on his slippers with little frogs at the toes, and sprinted out of his room to look for Albert.
He opened the door and saw a woman walking out of Cedrick’s room from the other end of the corridor.
The woman wore a pink sleeping gown. Her long hair draped over her shoulders.
“Aunt Catelyn!”
Ollie ran toward her. However, the woman heard him and turned around slowly. She was not Catelyn. It was Maia! Maia wore Mummy’s sleeping gown and was walking out of Father’s bedroom!
Thud!
Ollie’s slipper was flung away. He looked at the woman before him in disbelief. His tone went from shocked to questioning, “Why are you here!”
